Abstract
A toy building set comprising a plurality of toy building elements (1, 3) provided with complementary coupling means. At least one of the toy building elements (3) is/are provided with at least one groove (4) provided in an outwardly facing face of the toy building element (3), said groove (4) being able to receive and frictionally secure the edge of a toy building sheet element (5, 5a). The toy building sheet element (5, 5a) is planar with an even thickness that slightly exceeds the narrowest width of the groove (4) in the second toy building element (3), and it is made of a self-supporting, soft, elastically deformable, and form-stable material.
Description
A toy building set with flexible toy building sheet ele-ment The invention relates to a toy building set as featured in the introductory part of claim 1.
Today, many varieties of toy building sets are known that have the distinguishing feature of containing a number of different toy building elements whereby it is possible to build various structures by interconnection of different toy building elements. Most prior art toy building sets comprise a number of building elements made of a rela-tively hard plastics material. Typically, the building elements are provided with coupling means, eg studs, on their top face and with coupling means on their bottom face that are complementary to the coupling means ar-ranged on the top face.
There are plastics toy building sets wherein some ele-ments have "organic" shapes, ie elements that deviate from a purely box-like shape. Such elements, however, are also made of a hard plastics material, and therefore they do not exhibit any flexibility.
Toy building sets are also known that comprise metal ele-ments in the form of bars and sheets provided with holes, which elements can be assembled by means of bolts and nuts. In this toy building set there are also thin plas-tics sheets that are also provided with holes and which can therefore be joined with the metal elements by screw-ing. Depending on the mounting of the plastics sheets, they can be caused to assume organic shapes to allow structures of various appearances. It is a drawback of this building set that the plastics sheets are to be mounted by means of bolts and nuts which makes mounting very cumbersome.
Finally, a building system is known from DE 196 42 507 C1 that comprises building elements provided with grooves, and other building elements in the form of assembly lists that can be mounted and secured in the grooves. The as-sembly lists are made of a rigid material and have corru-gated edges that impart a securing flexing effect thereto when said edges are mounted in the grooves. The assembly lists being made of a rigid material, they are unable to assume organic shapes.
Thus, there is a need for a toy building set comprising sheet elements that can be caused to assume various or-ganic shapes and that can be mounted directly on toy building elements without use of particular assembly means.
This is obtained by configuring the toy building set de-scribed above with the features given in the characteris-ing part of claim 1.
Hereby a toy building set is obtained whereby it is pos-Bible to construct organic structures, wherein the toy building sheet elements can be caused to assume an unlim ited number of organic shapes depending on the way in which they are mounted in a toy building element featur ing a groove or between a plurality of such toy building elements.
The thickness of the toy building sheet element slightly exceeding the width of the groove, and it being made of a soft material, the edge of the toy building sheet element can be pressed into the groove and fractionally secured therein, since the material presses on the inside of the groove.
If the toy building sheet element is arranged between two toy building elements provided with grooves, it can be caused to assume any organic shape between these toy building elements. When the toy building sheet elements are once again removed from the other toy building ele-ments, it will resume its original planar configuration because it is made of an elastically deformable and form-stable material.
Preferably the toy building sheet element is made of a foamed plastics material, eg polystyrene, which imparts a relatively high moment of inertia to the toy building element relative to its weight. This means that a rela tively high degree of rigidity will be imparted to the toy building sheet element while, simultaneously, its softness is maintained.
In order to make the toy building sheet element more in-teresting, it may be configured with an organically shaped outer contour. Simultaneously the toy building element featuring a groove can be configured as an up wardly domed cylinder provided with two vertical grooves in two diametrical planes. If a toy building sheet ele ment with an organically configured outer contour is ar ranged in such toy building element featuring grooves it is possible to imitate eg trees and bushes.
Preferably the grooves have decreasing width from the outer edge of the toy building element and inwards which allows the toy building sheet element to wedge itself se-curely in the groove.
According to a particularly preferred embodiment the cou-pling means of the toy building elements comprise cylin-drical coupling studs and coupling means that are comple-mentary therewith.
The invention will now be described in closer detail with reference to the drawings, wherein Figure 1 shows a landscape construction wherein a toy building set according to the invention has been used;
Figure 2 shows a preferred embodiment of a toy building element provided with grooves for receiving a toy build-ing sheet element; and Figure 3 shows a toy building element known per se and provided with a groove for receiving a toy building sheet element.
Figure 1 shows a landscape that has been constructed by means of toy building elements in a toy building set ac-cording to the invention. The toy building set comprises a building plate 1 provided with coupling studs 2. Pref-erably the entire building plate 1 is provided with cou-pling studs 2, but for the sake of clarity only some of these are shown. Moreover, the toy building set comprises toy building elements 3 that are provided with grooves 4 for receiving the edge of toy building sheet elements 5,5a. On their bottom face, the toy building elements 3 are provided with coupling means that are complementary with the coupling studs 2 on the building plate 1.
The building plate 1 and the toy building elements 3 are preferably made of a relatively hard plastics material, as it is generally known in case of toy building sets. In 5 a preferred embodiment, the toy building sheet elements 5,5a are made of a foamed plastics material, eg polysty-rene, in order to obtain a sheet which is soft and pli-able. Owing to the cell structure the sheet has a rela-tively high moment of inertia compared to its weight and therefor it appears to be relatively rigid when it is to support its own weight only. However, the material is so pliable that the toy building sheet elements 5,5a can readily be deformed elastically to a desired form, as it is the case eg with the toy building sheet element 5a shown in Figure 1.
During construction of the landscape shown in Figure l, the toy building elements 3 are arranged on the building plate 1 on the desired locations. Then the toy building sheet elements 5,5a are mounted in the grooves in the toy building elements 3 where they are secured fractionally.
In the embodiment shown, the toy building sheet elements 5 imitate trees or bushes while the toy building element 5a imitates a hedge. In the embodiment shown the toy building sheet elements 5,5a are green, optionally with patterns painted thereon (not shown).
Figure 2 shows the toy building element 3 in an enlarged scale. The toy building element 3 is configured as an up-wardly domed cylinder, and it is provided with two verti-cal grooves 4 that are situated perpendicular to each other in each their diametrical plane. On its bottom face (not shown) the toy building element 3 is provided with coupling means that are complementary with the coupling studs 2 on the building plate 1 shown in Figure 1.
The grooves 4 extend from the top of the toy building element 3 and almost to the bottom 6; however, the bottom 6 being high enough to allow for the presence of the com plementary coupling means. Some of these coupling means are constituted by cut-outs 7 that are configured for seizing across the coupling studs 2 on the building plate 1.
The grooves 4 are slightly conical, their width being widest at the top of the toy building element 3 and gradually decreasing towards the bottom. At the top of the toy building element 3, the width of the grooves 4 exceeds the thickness of the toy building sheet elements 5,5a which allows for easy introduction of their edges into the grooves 4. At the bottom 6 of the toy building element 3, the width of the grooves 4 is narrower than the thickness of the toy building sheet elements 5,5a, which permits securing thereof by friction. The toy building sheet elements 5, 5a being made of a soft mate-rial allows them to adapt readily to the narrow grooves 4.
Mounting of toy building sheet elements 5, 5a can be ac-complished by their edges extending through a groove 4 which is situated in the diametrical plane as shown in connection with the toy building sheet elements 5 in Fig-ure 1. Alternatively, the toy building sheet elements 5, 5a can be mounted as shown in connection with the toy building sheet element 5a shown in Figure 1, where it bends, as will appear to the right in the drawing, due to its being pressed down into both grooves 4 of a toy building element 3.
Figure 3 shows an alternative embodiment of a toy build-s ing element provided with a groove for receiving an edge of a toy building sheet element 5,5a. The toy building element 8 shown in Figure 3 corresponds to commonly known box-shaped toy building elements with coupling studs 2 on the top face and coupling means at the bottom (not shown) that are complementary therewith. Additionally, the toy building element 8 is provided with a groove 9 for re-ceiving an edge of a toy building sheet element 5,5a.
Advantageously, the groove 9 can also be slightly wedge-shaped like the grooves 4 in the toy building element 3 to facilitate mounting of the toy building sheet elements 5,5a and to improve the securing by friction.
In the examples shown, the toy building sheet elements 5 are shown with organically configured outer contours.
However, they could also be configured with regularly shaped contours, eg in the form of rectangles, polygons, circles, etc, without hereby departing from the idea of the invention.
